About

Family Owned Since 1960

Anderson Lock Company was founded with a vision for providing security solutions for commercial, industrial and institutional facilities.

Now, in its third generation, led by Cortney Anderson Wascher, it has been transformed from a hardware store, to a locksmith service company, to a total door opening supplier with an emphasis on doors, frames and electronic access controls.

Anderson Lock was built by establishing relationships with customers at nearby O’Hare Airport, and with hospitals and school districts that required heavy-duty, reliable, products and services. Anderson Lock is a trusted source for security door hardware, and a reliable resource for expert technical advice.

Our History

From our company’s founding by Gene Anderson in a corner of his parents’ Ace Hardware store in 1960 to our recent expansion of our Door Division, we have a rich history of being family-owned with long-tenured employees.

We welcomed our 100th current employee earlier this year, and to meet growing customer demands for sales and service of security door hardware, doors and frames, we are seeking several more motivated, friendly, resourceful, skilled team members.
